Denison mayor Janet Gott issued a declaration naming the 300 block of Main Street a local disaster Thursday afternoon. The declaration will allow the city to utilize additional city resources to assist in the clean up and recovery effort.

The declaration includes the 300 block of Main Street and all adjacent public rights-of-way as well as public property. It directs city staff to take all steps necessary to secure Main Street and clear and clean the site of all fire damage.
